That flag is made by freckin 3rd graders!

ST. GEORGE — A historian said he didn't mean to offend anybody when he said Dorchester County's flag looks like it was designed by third-graders.

Heyward Hutson, a former state representative and president of the Summerville Preservation Society, recently told council that the flag was created by third-graders, and it looks like it, and it's not historically accurate.

As it turned out, the current flag was not designed by third-graders but by teachers, friends of Jean Behling, a former teacher and longtime member of the Upper Dorchester Historical Society.
